Fan Zhong-Xian and Liang Bo quickly came to a decision and swiftly made arrangements.
Liang Bo went home to convince his family to support him.
Fan Zhong-Xian went to look for Ye Fan instead.
Ye Fan awoke from his quiet two day cultivation in Xishan while the two of them went into full swing plotting their revenge.
The moment he opened his eyes, his pupils glinted briefly.
HUUU!
He exhaled a mouthful of filthy air.
Then Ye Fan got up and stretched before heading down the mountain.
The jade cave behind had turned slightly dimmer in comparison to when Ye Fan first arrived here.
Stones that lost their energy would naturally lose their luster!
And Ye Fan's breathing was far stronger than he was a few days ago.
"The Book of Celestial Cloud stated that there was very little energy on earth, so it takes very long to cultivate by means of absorbing the energy directly. If I want to speed things up, I can use energy in jade to boost cultivation. But the jade cave in Xishan is too small, so I absorbed all its energy in two days. It's still a long way before I can Invoke the Celestial Cloud!" Ye Fan contemplated on his way back.
Also, he made plans for the future.
If Operation Ablaze were to commence right after New Year, Ye Fan had to speed up his cultivation and master the skill as soon as possible.
There were plenty of martial arts masters in the Chu family.
If Ye Fan weren't absolutely prepared, even he was unconfident about toppling the monolith!
Ye Fan contacted Li Er to check once more to see whether he could make it back in time for New Year's Day.
"We can't delay the Feast of the Sea and Sky anymore. Three days is the absolute limit. If you don't make it back in time, then don't ever come back," said Ye Fan so coldly that it made Li Er tremble while he was on the other end of the call.
He swiftly acknowledged Mr Chu and assured him that he would make it back in time to host the Feast of the Sea and Sky for him!
"Okay," said Ye Fan as he nodded. Then he hung up the phone.
But another call came before long.
Ye Fan frowned when he saw the caller ID on the screen.
It was the first time he had seen this number.
"Mr Chu, you finally picked up. I've been trying to contact you for two days," said a respectful voice from the phone.
Ye Fan frowned as he asked quizzically, "And you are?"
"MrChu, I'm Nan!"
"Nan?” asked Ye Fan even more perplexedly.
Was it Chen Ao's daughter, Chen Nan? But that couldn't be right. Why would Chen Nan sound like a man?
Perhaps the man on the phone detected the quizzical tone in Ye Fan's voice, so he clarified, "Mr Chu, this is Liang Hao-Nan, the head of the Liang family. You saved me from Wen Liang just two days ago. Have you already forgotten me?"
The corners of Ye Fan's eyes twitched.
"Just call yourself Liang Hao-Nan then. Why call yourself 'Nan'? Ugh," Ye Fan muttered in his heart.
Ye Fan laughed coldly as he replied, "Oh, so it's Mr Liang. Why are you so polite to me now? You were anything but polite when you attempted to chase me out of the hotel the last time."
"Erm..." replied Liang Hao-Nan as he bitterly laughed while he wiped the sweat off his brow, "Mr Chu, you're too kind. I know it was wrong of me. I was too blind to realize you were here. If I knew you were Mr Chu, I would have offered the Xishan jade cave eons ago, and there would be no misunderstanding to speak of. But I'm honestly shocked by how young you are, Mr Chu."
After Ye Fan spared him the other night, Liang Hao-Nan hurried home.
